We're no longer heading out for new year's, so I'm no longer working on the Wolverine claws. For now. The line-up for the party looks terrible, which is the main reason why we're not going. I appreciate people love anime, and anime-themed J-pop, but aside from the odd Shonen Knife song, I don't. At all. So we figured it's not our scene and will instead get ridiculously drunk at home instead.

Christmas was nice. I'm not done completely, as my father is in Spain over Christmas, so we're doing my side of the family in January. But I got some neat stuff including (no order of preference): FIFA 09 for the 360; a cool Cylon figurine; a really nice (and posh) Rega record player; and a bit of cash. So good, so far. And no Star Wars stuff yet (this is a record, surely). However, I am considering giving my nephew a bunch of my SW figures and keeping the insanely cool TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED Grimlock the other half bought for him. So cool.
